click done when you are satisfied with your answer

Explanation:

Step1: Know the conversion factor

1 milligram (mg) = 1000 micrograms (μg). So, to convert micrograms to milligrams, we divide by 1000.

Step2: Move the decimal point

When dividing by 1000 (which is \(10^{3}\)), we move the decimal point 3 places to the left. For 100 micrograms (\(100.0\) μg), moving the decimal point 3 places to the left gives \(0.1\) mg.

Answer:

\(0.1\) milligrams
